Due to the financialization of housing in today's market, housing risks are increasingly becoming financial risks. Financialization refers to the increasing dominance of financial actors, markets, practices, measurements and narratives.

This book asserts the centrality of housing to the contemporary capitalist political economy and places housing at the centre of the financialization debate.

Rezensionen

"The book is largely successful in foregrounding the inviolable links between housing and financialized capitalism and will serve as a good introduction to an inter- or multidisciplinary and non-expert audience" - Bjarke Skærlund Risager, Department of Philosophy and History of Ideas, Aarhus University

"The Financializaton of Housing: A Political Economy Approach, a new book by Manuel Aalbers, is the most comprehensive attempt I've seen to outline this process and its consequences....the great strength of the book is the way it draws together the impact of financialisation across different markets, countries and tenures." - Jules Birch, editor of Welsh Housing Quarterly
